It's a wonderful trip, though honestly Karnak was even more spectacular. You'd be surprised at how LITTLE space there is inside the Great Pyramid (and the trip down inside is NOT for the claustrophobic.)

Are you kidding???
The chance to dig at the greatest archaeological site in the world! That's one of the most coveted "firmans" (the name of the right to dig permit) in the world.
Okay... maybe that doesn't excite you, but any Egyptologist (and most archaeologists) would give their eyeteeth to have permission to do a research dig there. Heck, give me the chance and I'll find the funding somehow!
